I think what he is doing is very honorable and speaks volumes about the man's overall character.

My only issue is that since a hug is the only means of payment he accepts from these gentlemen, does he not care about the possible fleas, bed bugs and urine/fecal smell that some homeless folk carry?

Very nice !

Getting haircut every now and then is pain in the ass for a person with home, yet alone for someone with no home.

[jdooly]

that's awesome.  When you humble yourself and help someone, maybe less fortunate, something inside you really comes alive.  Anyone else?

Sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty doing the right thing.

[Man of Steel]

[Henda]

Great guy for doing that but how long before some filthy tramp takes advantage and robs the bloke

[arce1988]

I doubt such people are the ones seeking haircuts, OMR.

(BTW, I wouldn't have taken you for the type of person who'd make a comment like that)

[Jizzacked]

saw this the other day... pretty noble and highly intredasting.  however, who the fuck would want a hug from some stinky ass bum?

[TrueGrit]

He's great in Curb your enthusiasm.

Over a decade ago, I used to volunteer at the local soup kitchen in Hell's Kitchen. I have always felt strongly about helping the homeless and hungry. Anyhow, one of those times I volunteered, I ended up hugging a homeless man that happened to have bed bugs on his person.

Well, what was meant as a good gesture between two men, turned into a nightmare for well over two months, as my apartment and subsequently building, became infested by bed bugs. It started with my apartment and slowly spread to my neighbors. The morning right after that faithful day, I had bug bites at the ankles, wrists and knees.

It took over 2 months of fumigation for those bugs to finally die out. Our landlord was kind enough to pay for us to stay at one of his neighboring properties.

That's why I made that comment, as I speak from experience regarding such matters..

Holy shit. I've never had that issue but I remember when I was staying with my friends in Australia and their whole fucking house was infested, several of the beds. The lads had bites all over 'em and were trying to get rid of the bugs for ages. I've never heard of anyone getting them in Ireland but they must exist here also, just less common. GROSS!!

They are a serious issue here in New York City.

When a building gets infested by bed bugs, tenants have the right to demand a speedy fumigation for prompt removal, no rent charged until the problem is resolved and, if severe enough, relocation to another property and/or hotel.

Bed bugs are a serious problem and are in no way inherent to the homeless, but due to their lack of proper living conditions, they are prone to carry them.

Do you ever stay in hotels, OMR?  Even extremely expensive ones?

[OneMoreRep]

Do you ever stay in hotels, OMR?  Even extremely expensive ones?

I stay at hotels when I travel abroad, as well as when I go down to the Keys or even to Hawaii.

In terms of expensive hotels, I have fractional ownership down at the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne and, due to such, I get coupons that allow me to stay free (for 3-4 days per month or I can take the time in weekly increments or monthly increments, tallying up to a full month) at any of their locations.

Other than the Ritz, truly expensive hotels I have stayed at that stand out due to sheer price include the Setai (Miami), Burj al Arab (Dubai), The St. Regis (in Bora Bora) and Tortuga Bay (Punta Cana, Dominican Republic).

WYHI - a hot chick with bed bugs?   SHe's a 10 and you can wreck it all nigh tlong... but her bed is stocked with bedbugs and you have to sleep there.  What say you?

I was thinking the same thing...since you said it, I am now free to ask...

Does he even lift??

Sounds nice, 1.

The point is that you can't be sure where the bedbug problem came from.  They can live for months and months without feeding, and are paper-thin and can travel under weatherstripping.  The problem may have hitched in with a contractor or a housekeeper, or it may have come from a neighbor.  Literally anywhere.
